Nova #5
Nova got off to a so-so start at the beginning, but recently, ever since last month when it started to become part of the Annihilation: Conquest series, it's started to become much better. This book, rather than focusing on Richard Rider (Nova), stars the new female character Ko-Rel. In the previous issue she had to become the new Nova for awhile after the real one almost died, and while it may seem cheezy, it's really not.
Ultimately I've enjoyed Star Lord better so far. However, if you're planning on collecting the Annihilation Conquest books, then you should absolutely collect this one as well as Star Lord. The other two books in the series aren't so hot...

Countdown #38Issues like this tell me that I shouldn't regret collecting the Countdown series. Unlike last week's, and the one prior to last week's, and, well, frankly almost every issue, this one wasn't boring to read. However, the apparent main story in this issue, the introduction of Mr. Action, was rather boring and uneeded, seeing that it really went no where. It was kind of pathetic of DC to put on the cover of the issue "collector's issue" just because it featured a pathetic new super hero... who really doesn't seem like any super hero I've ever seen. Overall, if you haven't been collecting the issues, then there's no real reason to get this, other than that, well, of course you're going to...

Fables #64You're probably going to hate be for saying this, though I actually loved the art work in this issue... sadly they're only going to feature it once! Seriously, Fables is one of the more interseting stories coming out now. I love the idea of it, and this one does a great job at showing the character's lifes, though not in an awfuly stupid way like some other comic series tend to do.
Oddly, while this comic features no actual action sequences, it was one of the issue that seemed more intense than any of the other issues I've reviewed here. The part I'm talking about is when Bigby and Snow White are about to tell their children a very important secret. I just loved that part!
8.5/10
Green Lantern #22It's commonly known that the Green Lantern series is currently one of DC's finest. It has plenty of action and dialouge, and the art is pretty good too. There's not much that I can say about this issue, other than go check it out if you're a DC Comics fan.....
